Grand Canyon Caverns, Arizona on Route 66

Grand Canyon Caverns might have a Peach Springs mailing address, but it isn't very near that town.  It really isn't very near anything, it is just off by itself at mile marker 115.  I guess that isn't surprising, it's not like you can move a natural cavern to make it closer to where you want it. You can read more about the caverns on Wikipedia.

The first you'll see of the caverns is probably this sign, which advertises the attached motel.  I'm not sure why they put up two huge pyramids of dirt and stone at the entrance, but I'm sure it makes sense to them. 

There is more than just the caverns (which I didn't go in) here. They have a collection of old fire trucks and some dinosaur sculptures.  They are out in the parking lot and you can walk around and look at them. I'm not sure what it is with dinosaur statues and Route 66, but I saw a bunch of them in a number of different places.

 Another claimant to the title of the real Radiator Springs from the Movie "Cars".  I can't actually tell you if they are still selling gas here, the "Out of Service" signs on the gas pumps would suggest no, but the other side of the pumps seem to be working.

 

Next stop: Seligman, Arizona;  Prior stop: Peach Springs, Arizona.  You can see all my Route 66 posts here.

Hackberry, Arizona on Route 66

Image
  Hackberry General Store Hackberry, AZ is effectively just the general store and a few acres of land around it. It is very much worth a stop for a drink and to look around. I went there twice, once in the evening on my drive east, then again when I came back west. The store is a low building that has it's front wall covered in stickers. There is a good sized parking area there. The address is 11255 E. Hwy 66, Hackberry, AZ 86411.   It used to be a gas station and there are at least 7 gas pumps out front, however, they are not all the same kind so they are probably not all from there (or at least not all active at the same time). There are also a few picnic tables out front if you want to stay for a while If you are traveling Route 66 you should know about the Route 66 passport. some visitor centers will give it to you free, other places charge a nominal fee. It has photos of various places along Rt-66 with a few bullet points about them.  For many of them there is also s...

Topock and Golden Shores Arizona on Route 66

Exit 1 in Arizona  I didn't though. I came in to Arizona from Needles, California. On the right as I crossed the Colorado River I saw the white arch "Old Trails" bridge. This bridge now carries a pipeline but used to Route 66.  After crossing the bridge I got off at the first exit but couldn't find a good spot to take the pictures. There aren't that many Route 66 specific sights in the Topock/Goldon Shores part of Arizona, and somehow I missed taking pictures of one of the important ones, so a few of these photos are from Wikimedia Commons instead of being ones I took.   Historic Old Trails Bridg e built in 1914 in Topock, Az. By Wikimedia user Marine 69-71 CC-BY-SA If I had taken a right off the exit then gone into what looks like a Industrial area, I would have also had a good view of the bridge, similar to this view.   Looking at Google, I see I also could have gotten off of Interstate 40 at the last exit in California (Park Moabi Rd) and made my way to this o...

Sitgreaves Pass and Cool Springs Station, Arizona

Image
  Sitgreaves Memorial Viewpoint This section of Route 66 is the curviest and steepest portion of the road.  It is an 8 mile section of the road that goes from Oatman, Arizona up Sitgreaves Pass. It is also called the "Arizona Sidewinder" because it has 191 or so curves and switchbacks with no guardrails.  It sounds scary, but as long as you go slow (everyone else is too, don't worry) it isn't as bad as it sounds. I'll note, however, that I was driving west to east which means I was on the inside of the road the whole time.  Maybe if I was driving east to west and was right up against the drop I'd have a different opinion. Summit Station and Ice Cream Parlor was at this turnout just below the summit. There's nothing left but a few bits of concrete in the ground.  However, this site has been repurposed as a memorial hill.  There are dozens of small memorials that dot the crest of the hill that you can walk around or through. Onetto Spring? On this part of my...
